One of the best and broadest fantasy worlds I have read recently, action packed from start to finish with incredible world building and monster design. The characters are fascinating and so fun to read about, and the lore is well explained without getting bogged down in the intricacies of such a broad world. It all seems so effortlessly done, which is so inspiring to me as a writer. I was hooked from the first page.
Graphic: Violence and Gore
It’s just gory as hell. Anything you can think of pretty much.
